Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Subway songs should also include "Thank You, Lord, For Sending Me the F Train" by Mike Doughty, and "Take the 'A' Train" by Duke Ellington

As well as "Charlie on the MTA" by the Weavers. How cool is it that the Boston subway system has its own folksong?

I've got one about the Green Line on a collection of songs about the 2004 Red Sox.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The MBTA is replacing tokens with "CharlieCards".

This exists? Where could one purchase a copy? The bf's birthday is coming up and I'm fairly sure he would be quite grateful if I got him this.

eta - the Red Sox thing, not just the song. He likes the Sox.

You can buy it right here.

It's pretty good, too. A mix of original songs and (basically) baseball filk. Using lots of older soul musicians.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Watched Kate Bush's The Single File collection of her early videos through 1983 (pre Hounds).

We were watching the one with minotaurs on roller skates where she's wearing a dunce cap when JZ noted, "Kate's not afraid of the dorky is she?"

"It's one of her enduring charms, along with her deep drama-nerd commitment to mime."

Jilli, did you know there was a video for "Hammer Horror"?

Glad to - I just met the guy who put that album together at my last A's game. He knows JZ's Dad.

Hec, have you seen the KATE BUSH LIVE AT THE HAMMERSMITH ODEON video (I have no idea if it's on DVD or not)? It had to be pre-THE DREAMING (still my favorite of hers) as the most recent songs are from the third album. Both of these qualities are in abundant display. However, so is the fact that she's a stone hottie (not to mention flexible - oh wait, I just did), so it makes for a potent combo.
